What is the equivalent of javascript setTimeout in Java?

Question

I need to implement a function to run after 60 seconds of clicking a button. Please help, I used the Timer class, but I think that that is not the best way.

Answer 1

There is setTimeout() method in underscore-java library.

Code example:

import com.github.underscore.U;
import com.github.underscore.Function;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        final Integer[] counter = new Integer[] {0};
        Function incr = new Function() { public Void apply() {
            counter[0]++; return null; } };
        U.setTimeout(incr, 100);
    }
}

The function will be started in 100ms with a new thread.
